The product at this page is the PadFoot model that fits perfectly to iPad 2 as well as the 3d and 4th generation iPad. For PadFoot for iPad 1, go here.

PadFoot, the popular viewing stand for iPad, is now available for iPad 2 and the 3d and 4th generation iPad.

PadFoot clips to the corner of your iPad and will securely stand it upright in both landscape and portrait mode. It’s great for watching movies, clips and slideshows, for making FaceTime calls, as well as for use in presentations and (shop) displays.

At just 10 grams, PadFoot is now even lighter and smaller than its predecessor, with an increased viewing angle for even more viewing comfort - while it’s as stable and sturdy as ever.

Price information

The prices of PadFoot have been reduced by up to 20%. If you like, you can save shipping costs by combining this product with another product, like the ones from my shop; or just browse the galleries. A wholesale pack of 4 PadFoots, at up to 30% lower prices, is available here.

General information

PadFoot is manufactured in tough but lightweight, 3d printed polyamide with a fine surface texture. Check the materials section of this website for more information. Colors are seasonal; current availability is shown at the bottom of this page - this may be different from the colors shown in the images above. Each product ordered is individually manufactured, just for you. If you are new to the Shapeways site: to order, you'll be asked to create an account (it's easy; you can even log in with Facebook or Twitter).

It's best to use PadFoot on a stable and horizontal surface. Always make sure that your iPad is placed all the way into the opening in PadFoot; resting the iPad on one of its two edges without buttons. PadFoot will only work if your iPad has no cover on it. Product ships in basic Shapeways packaging. For more information, visit www.michielcornelissen.com; if you have any feedback or questions on this item, please feel free to contact me directly at michiel (at) michielcornelissen.com.

Some of the reactions on PadFoot, when it was introduced:

“PadFoot - Finally an iPad stand I can settle on. The iPad stands up perfectly, and there is absolutely no wobble or shake... PadFoot is also absolutely great to watch movies on the iPad...”
smokingapples.com

“... I was surprised by how small and lightweight it was... the PadFoot is extremely portable... PadFoot will hold the iPad securely at an angle perfect for viewing slide shows or videos.”
the-gadgeteer.com

“This Little iPad Stand Can Still Do a Lot of Standing... The PadFoot does the job and stays out of the way.”
gizmodo.com

PadFoot: one of fastcodesign’s most wanted products...
fastcodesign.com

“... I think the PadFoot... is just the perfect partner for the iPad”
gizmodiva.com

“ Simple yet adorable: The PadFoot iPad stand. At first, I thought the iPad’s inherent lack of stand was a flaw... Now I’m kind of happy that the tablet didn’t come with one. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have cute little items like this...”
todaysiphone.com

“... the Padfoot, a minuscule, efficient iPad stand that is beautiful in its simplicity.”
freshbump.com

“We’ve seen quite a few iPad stands since it hit the market, but the Padfoot by Dutch designer Michiel Cornelissen is just a bit better than what I’ve seen so far... Perfect!”
minimalissimo.com

“Padfoot ist einfach und genial.”
stilsucht.de

“Received my PadFoot. Works great!”
Robert, New York

...bought a PadFoot... Best iPad accessory ever! You won’t be sorry, it is so light... I love it.
‘xultar’

“Just got my beautifully minimal PadFoot iPad stand from Michiel Cornelissen. Nice!”
‘mr_phillip’, Scotland

“I’ve bought many accessories for iPad, but PadFoot is by far the most useful one I’ve come across. Simple, qualitative and ingenious.”
Mario, The Netherlands

This is a mobius strip of Level 1 or Super Mario Bros. The whole level is wrapped around itself in a single surface, and poor Mario begins and ends at the same spot every time :(

All the elements from the level are there: every mushroom, turtle, cloud and star. They are all carved out of the surface at different heights, which looks fantastic when you have a light coming from the side, and each block casts a shadow.

It's a great piece to have on your desk, or to hang from a string to let it spin around.

Make your own slide-on macro lens for the iPhone 4 or 4S. I designed this for my iPhone 4 when I couldn't find the image quality I wanted for less than $60.

Print this model and then buy the glass lens for $4 from Surplus Shed (http://www.surplusshed.com/). The Surplus Shed part number is L4471. For some reason the search box on the Surplus Shed home page does not work with part numbers. To get to L4471, use the "Lens Finder". In the Lens Finder type:

Lens Type: PCX, Plano Convex
Diameter: 12mm to 12mm
Focal length: 51mm to 51mm

It will get you to L4471

The lens fits in a recess in the model and is held in place with a few tiny drops of Superglue. If you get any glue on the lens it can cleaned off with nail polish remover or acetone. The lens is plano-convex (one side is flat). When inserted in the holder, the flat side of the lens faces the phone.

Note that the lens fits pretty snugly into the opening. Try fitting the lens before applying any glue. A good technique is, with the lens holder laying face-down on a table, lay the lens in position, and then push it into the recess by poking the lens with the eraser-end of a pencil. Once you know the lens fits cleanly, push it back out and put two tiny drops of superglue on opposite edges of the opening. I use a toothpick to apply the glue because squeezing the superglue directly out of the tube risks putting on too much. Then push the lens back in the same way as in the test fit.

The object pictures in the photo gallery (dime, ruler, and watch) are unedited and uncropped shots directly from my iPhone4.

This model will not slide over iPhone cases.

There are six regular convex polytopes in 4D, which are analogous to the five Platonic solids in 3D. This is the fifth, the hyperdodecahedron, a remarkably beautiful object brought to my attention by George Hart.

Here it's shown in a Schlegel diagram so you can see all 120 dodecahedral cells, though most are transformed by perspective: in this projection, the only regular dodecahedra are the biggest one on the outside and the tiniest one at the center.

A smaller model is here.

This is a model of the woodcut picture made by M.C. Escher in 1965 called 'Knots".
It has since then been a challenge for 3d modelers and mathematicians.
As far as I know it has not been modeled in 3d up till now. (It has! see comments).

The model's height is about 8 cm.

It arrived in WSF, and it works for real :-)
Gear system based on hypotrochoid shapes.
It is printed as a 9 piece puzzle, a VERY frustrating one at that ;-)

Depending on the print batch, it might need some minor sanding to make it run properly.

Steel available on request, still untested by me.
I think steel will work but probably needs some more sanding to make it fit.
With the new pricing scheme, the steel version is no longer available.
If you want one in steel, please send me a message and we will find a way.

Out of the Box is a seemingly simple three piece puzzle. However, it requires out-of-the-box thinking to solve it.

Watch the YouTube video.

The puzzle comes in three sizes.
Small: 3.5 x 18 x 27.5 mm
Medium: 7 x 36 x 55 mm (THIS)
Large: 14 x 72 x 110 mm

If you have guessed the solution of this puzzle, then PLEASE be so kind NOT to post it. This will give other the opportunity to think out of the box as well. Thank you.

Please contact Oskar directly if you are interested in obtaining a dyed set.

Five intersecting tetrahedra with an icosahedron inside them.  There is just enough space between all the pieces that it will print as 6 separate objects.  The edge length of the tetrahedron is 7.5cm, it stands 8.6 cm high, about the size of a tennis ball.

Double D6

This is a compound of a nearly regular D6 and of a sum-D6. As the sum-D6 that composes the shell gives results from 0 to 5, the core is numbered from 2 to 7.
As a consequence, when you roll this double die, you got the same results as summing the results of two regular D6. But in a very original way!
For instance, in the rendering, the upper face of the core show 3 pips and the upper part of the shell, around this face, shows 2 extra pips. Thus, the result is 3+1+1 that is 5.

SUCESSFULLY PRINTED in White Strong and Flexible.
Not printable in Metal, sorry (movable parts).

The Ring'n'Roll is made of two portions of spheres, one inside the other. The outer ring can turn freely around the inner one.
The internal diameter is 20 mm (ask me if you need other dimensions). The inner ring can turn inside the outer shell (the clearance between the ring is 0.75mm, the thickness of each ring is 2 mm)

SUCESSFULLY PRINTED in Alumide. Unfortunatelly Metal is not possible (movable parts). A version with holes (less expensive) is also available.

Very very addictive...
